Wagenmakers M , Netea-Maier R , Dekkers T , den Heijer M , Hermus A

Background: Impaired health related quality of life (QOL) in patients in long-term remission of Cushings syndrome (CS) has previously been reported. However, the major determinants of the impaired QOL have not yet been established.Aim: To investigate QOL of patients in long-term remission of CS treated in our hospital (19692007) and to investigate the influence of the etiology of CS, treatment strategy, coexistent hypopituitarism and glucocor...

Convincing evidence supporting the choice for one of both techniques, either based on treatment results or complication rate, is lacking.Objective: We aimed to compare endoscopic and microscopic...
